Where To Stay in Bali: Villa Manis in Ubud
Bali has been at the top of my travel bucket list for years. I've been day dreaming about their beaches, food, culture, and nightlife that I've only seen through photos. All I hear are praises about the place. Jacob and I originally planned to go in October of last year but we had to move our flight because his passport didn't arrive in time for our trip. We changed our dates to the end of May instead. However, we hit another bump on the road just a couple of weeks before our trip. Jacob found out he had fly back home earlier than expected for work. Our 8 day trip got cut down to 6 days. It seemed like luck wasn't on our side but I wasn't going to let that rain on my parade. I was still ecstatic to finally tick Bali off my bucket list.
Getting There
From Manila, you can either take Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific or Air Asia. Air Asia had the best deal for our dates. Each round trip ticket cost PHP14,000 per person. It was quite expensive because we had to pay a rebooking fee. Normally, it should be around Php8,000- PHP10,000 round trip. If you're lucky, prices drop to as low as PHP4,000 on promo. Our flight departed at 2am. We arrived Denpasar past 4 am. We arranged a driver to pick us up through the Airbnb we were staying at.
Where To Stay
I found Villa Manis while scrolling through Airbnb. (See the listing here) It's a One Bedroom Villa that has a pool right outside your door. There are only two other rooms in the property. Mary, the hostess, stays in the main house and there's another room by the back also up for rent. When we were there, there was a long term guest who has been there for a couple of months already.

What I Love About The Honor 10
What do you look for in a phone? Being a blogger who spends most of her time in the car jumping from point A to point B or out at an event, I need a phone that can help me get my work done while on-the-go. When I'm stuck in traffic inside the car, I use my phone to reply to my emails. Then when I'm at event, I use my phone to take photos and videos. I also bring a lot of things with me- I usually have two bags filled with extra shoes, my make up kit, laptop, and camera. I need a phone that's lightweight and easy to carry. I've been looking for a phone that can suit all these needs. I'm glad I found the Honor 10. It's perfect for my lifestyle. It has everything I was looking for and more. See the extra features I just discovered below.
AI Feature
It's my first time to own a phone with the AI feature. I had no prior knowledge on how it works. When you turn on the AI feature, it can detect the situation or subject you're taking-- be it a specific kind of landscape, the sky, your pet, food or the beach- automatically adjusting its settings to take that perfect photo. Curious about how this all works, I found out that the Honor 10 is able to do this because of its technology that allows the camera to recognize over 500 different kinds of scenarios and take that perfect shot without you needing to put a filter on the photo afterwards. This is all on top of the variety of shooting modes as well to select from. |

Design
The Honor 10 comes in two colors: Aurora Blue and Midnight Black. I chose the Aurora Blue because it fit my personality. It's fun, youthful and unique and it instantly catches your attention from afar.
Photo Quality
I take all my photos for my blog and Instagram using my mirrorless camera. I prefer the quality of a camera over a phone but I was surprised that the Honor10's camera met my standards. It has great bokeh and different lighting settings. The Honor 10 also supports face recognition and really optimizes facial details to amazing accuracy and quality- which makes it a pretty awesome camera to take shots with friends. |

High Performance
I don't need to worry about the battery life. I charge it as soon as I woke up in the morning then it can last the whole day. I use it to take photos, reply to emails, and call up clients. Come evening, it still has half of its battery. There's no need to carry a bulky portable charger. Your trusty Honor 10 will last the whole day.
I discovered so much about the Honor 10 as I've been bringing it with me every day and I must say, it never fails in taking awesome photos for my daily content.
I can't wait to share more experiences with my Honor 10 with you!

5 Best Finds in Mumuso
Your money can go a long way if you know where to score the best deals. Now that I am 25 and I work hard for every peso that I earn, I have learned to be a smart shopper. I follow two principles: (1) Only buy what you need; (2) Choose quality over quantity. I try my best to stay away from sales because you get tempted to buy things just because they come out cheap without really thinking about the quality. I generally do my research before buying an item to make sure I am getting my money's worth. I discovered Mumuso back in 2017 and it has been one of my go to shopping places ever since. They were brought in by a Korean Company. It is similar to a department store because they carry so many items from different brands. You can find kitchenware, storage, electronics, beauty products and even women's clothes. I always check Mumuso first for what I need and if they don't have it, that is the only time that I look at other stores. I trust the quality of the brand so why will I need to look elsewhere? Also, it doesn't hurt that the price tag is well within my budget. I paid a visit over the weekend and treated myself to a mini shopping haul. I listed below my five best finds.
1. iPhone/ Android Cable Chargers
2. White Shoes Cleaner & Whitener Kit
 |
| This was such a steal at Php99. Shoe cleaners usually cost around Php500 and above |
3. Lint Roller
4. Face Mask Conveniently Compressed
 |
| You just dip the face mask in the water and it expands |
5. Hair Removal Cream
